Myobrace Treatment in Thornbury
A Gentle, Natural Approach to Early Orthodontic Development
Children’s oral habits play a significant role in how their teeth and jaws develop. Myobrace offers a modern, non-invasive way to guide healthy growth before full orthodontic treatment is needed. At Thornbury Dental Wellness, we provide Myobrace as part of our early interceptive care to support long term oral health and create the foundation for a well balanced, confident smile.

How Myobrace Supports a Developing Smile
Myobrace is a preventive orthodontic system designed for children and young teens. Instead of traditional braces, this treatment focuses on correcting poor oral habits that contribute to crooked teeth, narrow arches and bite issues. It is worn for short periods during the day and overnight, making it a flexible option for growing children.
Benefits of Myobrace include:
- Improved facial development
- Encourages nasal breathing
- Supports correct tongue posture
- Reduces the need for future complex orthodontics
- Helps teeth naturally align as the jaw grows
- Promotes healthier oral habits for life
Myobrace works with the body’s natural growth, making it a gentle and effective approach for children at the right developmental stage.
What to Expect During Myobrace Treatment
Your child’s Myobrace journey at Thornbury Dental Wellness is designed to feel positive, supportive and clear at every step.
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We begin with a full orthodontic review, including the position of the teeth, jaw development and oral habits contributing to misalignment. If suitable, Myobrace is introduced as part of a personalised treatment plan.
Step 2: Fitting and Habit Correction
Your child receives a Myobrace appliance that is comfortable, removable and easy to keep clean. We also provide guidance on myofunctional exercises that support proper breathing, swallowing and posture.
Step 3: Regular Progress Reviews
Routine appointments allow us to monitor changes in jaw growth and habit development. These visits ensure the appliance remains effective and that your child feels supported throughout.
Step 4: Long Term Outcomes
As habits improve, natural alignment becomes easier and the foundation for future orthodontic care strengthens. Many children experience improved breathing, posture and oral comfort as part of the process.
Myobrace is most effective when used consistently and is typically recommended before adolescence when facial growth is most adaptable.
